~Ava~

Ava skipped up the stairs to the old blue door of their apartment, she smiled fondly at the peeling paint as she unlocked it. Bea had offered to give it a fresh coat when they had returned but Ava had refused, she loved the faded color, it gave her a warm feeling, a feeling of home.

They had been back in Switzerland for exactly 3 months, Mother Superior had insisted they take a break and relax after the traumatic experience in the sinkhole. Everything was pretty quiet on the demon front, especially now Lilith was back taking an active role in assisting the OCS in rounding up the last rogue wraiths. Ava couldn’t help but agree that they needed the holiday, both women often woke screaming with nightmares about what had taken place.

On top of the nightmares, the new powers that came with the Halo were proving difficult to master. Ava had already had several incidences with her wings springing free in public, so training by the secluded lake beside the small town meant there were no witnesses to the Halo bearer's lapses in control. The ancient relic itself was less than helpful and had just told her she needed to contain her emotions better. With Bea's never-ending patience, Ava could now keep the wings hidden the majority of the time, not that they she knew where they went, the Halo had described it as a different plane of reality whatever that means... 

The Reya problem still hung over their heads as well, even with the Halo constantly reassuring her that the goddess still hadn’t returned to their realm, Ava found it hard to forget about. She often found herself biting her nails or picking loose threads on their beat-up old couch with anxiety. Bea had taken too distracting her whenever she noticed Ava's bad habits, her methods of distraction were often of the sexual variety, the Halo bearer couldn't complain. 

Suddenly feeling very horny, she pulled herself away from that train of thought and pushed the door open entering their tiny apartment. Ava had booked a table at their favorite local restaurant for dinner, in celebration of six months post war, she was really looking forward to taking Bea out on a real date.

“Honey, I’m home!” Ava shouted, kicking off her shoes and hanging her keys up on the hook that Bea had insisted they put in by the door because of the Halo bearer’s inability to keep track of them.

She could hear Bea’s laugh from their bedroom, the joyful sound made her heart swell.

“In here, darling.” Came her reply.

Ava bounced across the living room and barreled into their room, smiling widely when she saw a towel clad Bea drying her hair in front of the mirror. The sister warrior met her eyes in the reflection, raising an eyebrow questioningly. Ava stepped up to embrace the taller woman from behind, locking her arms around her stomach and pressing her lips to the delicate skin at the crook of her neck.

“Hi.” She whispered into the floral scented warmth.

“Hey baby, how was work?” Bea sounded just a touch breathless at the feel of Ava’s lips.

“Okay...Better if you were there.” She grazed the edge of her teeth across the top of Bea’s shoulder, grinning a little when the sister warrior shivered slightly.

“Ava…”

“What?” The Halo bearer murmured innocently, pretending her right hand wasn’t sliding down the towel covered woman’s stomach.

“I’ve just had a shower.” Bea’s voice was weakening slightly as Ava’s fingers approached their target.

“And…? You can always have another one…with me…after.” The younger woman nipped softly at her earlobe, her fingers had paused in their path, waiting for Bea’s answer.

“Fine.” Bea turned suddenly, her eyes dark and shoved Ava backwards towards the bed.

~Beatrice~

The Halo bearer smirked allowing herself to be manhandled onto the bed as she tugged the towel free, Ava ran her hands up the taller woman’s now naked ribs, thumbs brushing the side of her breasts. Beatrice shuddered, sitting up to straddle Ava’s waist and started unbuttoning the colorful geometric shirt she had worked in, fingers moving quickly, pulling it apart to expose a black lace bra. The sister warrior’s breath quickened as she took in Ava’s heaving chest.

“Like what you see?” The Halo bearer quirked an eyebrow at her, the lust filled expression drew Beatrice in for a searing kiss.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” Ava gasped out as Beatrice moved lower to run her tongue down her neck.

The younger woman's hands began to roam again, this time along the sister warrior’s thighs, fingernails dug into the muscle there when the taller woman nipped gently at the skin above Ava’s left breast. Beatrice smiled and moved her mouth to the swell of skin, dragging the edge of the bra down to free a pale pink nipple. The Halo bearer groaned as she took the firm point into her mouth, suckling on it greedily.

“Oh my God, Bea.” Ava exclaimed, her hands moving away from the sister warrior’s legs to cup her cheeks encouraging her up into a messy kiss, all teeth and tongue.

The Halo bearer bit down on her lip with a giggle when Beatrice withdrew for air, the taller woman growled.

Little shit.

She reared back, gazing down at Ava with annoyance, the Halo bearer was giving her that infuriating grin again. The younger woman reached for her, but Beatrice was having none of that, she was going to make her beg for it. Ava whimpered as the sister warrior grasped her wrists in an iron grip and forced them down onto the mattress above her head. Beatrice sucked a bruise into Ava’s neck and brought knee up between the other woman’s legs, smirking as she felt hips grind up into her thigh.

“Fuck.”

Abruptly, Beatrice pulled her leg away, Ava whined in frustration. The sister warrior chuckled and went back to mouthing at the Halo bearer's breasts, she could feel Ava straining against her hand trying to get free, the squirming causing some delicious friction between her center and Ava's jeans.

"Beeeeeeeaaaaa…"

"Hmmm?" She hummed into the soft skin.

"Please." The Halo bearer was truly panting now.

"Please what?" Beatrice was enjoying this way too much.

"Please touch me, Beatrice." Those words sent a jolt of arousal straight through her, a moan slipped past her lips, she smiled up at Ava who was looking thoroughly disheveled.

"Only since you asked nicely." Beatrice released the younger woman's wrists so that she could unzip the fly of the jeans, yanking them and her underwear off in one quick movement.

The sister warrior trailed her mouth up Ava's inner right thigh from her knee, listening to the Halo bearer’s little whines of pleasure. When she reached the apex of her thighs, the Halo bearer cried out her name loudly, her now free hands clutching at Beatrice's hair. She could feel the muscles in Ava's legs spasming around her as she climbed higher towards ecstasy.

"Bea please…please inside." Ava moaned, fingers tightening in her hair.

Beatrice obliged, delicately pushing two fingers into the other woman, Ava climaxed almost immediately, her thighs clamping down tightly on the sister warrior to keep her in place. Beatrice kept up her thrusts and gentle lapping until Ava relaxed underneath her.

"Fuck Bea…that was…I love you." Ava breathed, looking down at her lover.

Beatrice smiled softly, climbing up the Halo bearer’s body to kiss her, "I love you."

"Your turn?" Ava grinned pushing the sister warrior onto her back and hovering over her.

"We are going to be late for our reservation, Ava." Beatrice replied, glancing over at the alarm clock, their table was booked for half an hour from now.

Ava groaned, forehead falling onto her shoulder.

"And we both need a shower." Ava perked up a little at that, lifting her head to wiggle her eyebrows suggestively.
"To clean ourselves up." The Halo bearer pouted again.

Beatrice chuckled pulling Ava down into a deep kiss, "There will be plenty of time for my turn later." She whispered against the other woman's lips.

Ava let out a dramatic sigh before rolling off her, " Ugh fine. Let's get ready for this stupid dinner."

"The dinner was your idea, Ava!" Beatrice shouted at the Halo bearer's retreating back as she stomped into the bathroom.
